What a lovely house! Friendly local neighbours, great views and very well equipped for home cooking. Borth-Y-Gest was the best place to stay for the beaches hidden around the corner in some coves and 15 minute walk into Porthmadog! Best beach was Harlech beach for us. Massive and so quiet and great waves for body bording! A train ride too is a mustRead more! Thank you North Wales, we will be back! Hide

A lovely touch was a treat tray of welsh goodies, tea bags and milk in the fridge on our arrival. We are hoping to return soon! Hide
